At this point we have it functioning as a standard gamepad under windows which works great natively in games like Battlefield 4 and Source Engine games, but most modern games assume you are using an XBOX 360 controller and so look for XInput protocol controllers. Using emulation through X360ce I can use the device in these games, but I would much rather have the device natively act just like an XBOX 360 controller. I am aware of only three commercial devices that use the XInput protocol: The Xbox 360 controller, the Xbox One controller, and the Logitech F310(F510,F710) contollers. I own an official Xbox 360 controller and the F310 and have been spending some time this past week using a USB Protocol Analyzer to capture the data being generated by these devices to get a better understanding of how to make our device behave similarly.
As this device will not be used on the Xbox console the security information handling will not be necessary. Nor will the the rumble and audio features of the xbox controller be necessary, so looking at the Logitech F310 (which does not have any of this) seems like a good place to start. I am looking for some guidance to help me understand how the data should be structured so that we can properly enumerate as a device in Windows and have games programmed for the Xbox 360 controller respond to the device appropriately.
This is the information I have collected so far about the F310 controller:
